Today the rally to protest the recently proposed immigration laws passed right outside my window on H Street. There were tons of people, and it lasted a long time. What struck me was not so much the P.C. language (Of course, I never saw signs with 'Illegal Immigrants' but plenty with 'Undocumented Workers' (by the way...I'm an undocumented worker)), but the number of rainbow flags, pro-choice flags, anti-war stuff, etc. There were tons of them. Oh yeah, and anti-Bush stuff. I don't know why I was surprised...I should expect this at an Immigration rally.

But when I headed home, there were TONS of people at the metro stations in Maryland going towards downtown DC around 5:30 pm. I couldn't believe the crowds weren't going to peak until well after the work day ended.
